Could have been physician assisted. Withdraw all meds and then give small increasing doses of morphine. But it really doesn't matter beyond his family and business partners.
I'm opposed to medically assisted dying but based on your use of "death panels" I'm assuming you come at it from a different perspective. How is a "death panel" different from businesses deciding who gets food or health treatment?
In Switzerland, (public) health services are not businesses. And I don't think anyone in our system makes money from encouraging people's deaths. We also have assisted suicide services. They're a public association that brings penthobarbital to your place and assists you during your suicide.
I'm also opposed to assisted suicide. At the moment "death panels" are largely imaginary. If this law passes it will introduce actual death panels which dispense actual death as a "treatment". I don't really understand your question, probably because I'm not coming from where you think I'm coming from.

They passed a law introducing it in a few years' time. There's a statutory system of death panels that needs to be implemented.
Law hasn’t passed yet fyi, waiting second reading in the house of lords
Thank you, I had forgotten.
